Röslein!

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

Frauenchor (Engelstimmen):
 Röslein!
 Zu deinen Blumen nicht,
 Zu uns, zu höh'rem Licht
 Schwing' dich empor,
 Damit du schau'st
 Von Himmelshöh'n,
 Wie dein Knösplein zart
 Blüht und gedeih't, --
 Daß einstens empfang'st du's,
 Wenn es die Rose
 Unbefleckt dir zurückebringt!
 Sei uns gegrüsst,
 Liebliche Rose! --

Little rose!

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Women's Chorus (Angel Voices):
 Little rose!
 Not to your flowers,
 But to us, to the higher light,
 Rise up,
 So that you may see
 From Heaven's heights,
 How your delicate blossom
 Blooms and flourishes, -
 So that you once may receive it,
 When [your blossom] brings back
 To you the rose unsullied!
 We greet you,
 Lovely Rose! -
